Other phases, such as nonpolar nematic, polar nematic, stringbean, donut and onion phases, have been predicted.
22.
Some of these, the " nematic liquid crystals ", also show an alignment effect between the layers.
23.
There he continued his NMR studies, concentrating on the chiral smectic phases and the elastic characteristics of nematic liquid crystals.
24.
The complex nature of this order parameter allows for many parallels between nematic to smectic phase transitions and conductor to superconductor transitions.
25.
The liquid crystal alignment is chosen so that its relaxed phase is a twisted one ( see Twisted nematic field effect ).
26.
Twisted nematic is apparently the cheapest and most common, In-Plane Switching LCD is better as far as view angle.
27.
Another potential approach was the twisted-nematic approach, which had first been noticed by French physicist Charles-Victor Mauguin in 1911.
28.
This theory thus predicts that a solution of rod-shaped objects will undergo a phase transition, at sufficient concentration, into a nematic phase.
29.
Through applied research, it was shown that SSFLC structure has faster switching times and bistability behavior in comparison with commonly used nematic liquid crystal displays.
30.
For a non-chiral nematic liquid crystals \ mathcal { F } _ { d } is commonly taken to consist of three terms given by:
